stay low, stay quiet, and they'll leave your ass alone.
make a big stink, and they will find any and every reason to pull you over and harass you. and they can do that legally. I've been there. I've done that. I thought I was gonna change the world. I didn't. I made my own life pure hell. To the point that police would park out in front of my house while filling out their daily paper work. seriously.
but whatever. oh, and your vision of the court system is not what you see on tv. you won't have any opportunites to talk to the cop. you will talk to the judge. he will talk to the judge. that's it. no cross examination bs.
